Hi,

Could you send an example?

Easiest way is to put filters on your header row and when you want to find a phone number click the drop down arrow on the header and enter some of the phone number digits into the search bar.

Sounds good Paul

But how do i do that
I started with Experts Exchange in 2004 and it's been a mainstay of my professional computing life since. It helped me launch a career as a programmer / Oracle data analyst

Hi,
You can have loop to scan through the Worksheet and check if the cell is having numbers inside and is with length like 8 digits.
Use numeric is check if cell value is numeric.
